What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (rear shock absorber detachment) that can lead to reduced braking and increased crash risk, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Ram 1500 vehicles, as well as model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles. The recall involves a total of 20,347 vehicles.
The defect is an insufficient weld on the rear shock absorbers. This issue may cause the rear shocks to detach from the vehicle at one end.
